**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

Trouble with the FLM half case is its designed to only be used with the other half of the case, in which case the supplied screws fit perfectly, and the bearing recces' are the correct depth for each half to work together- when you use the gorillamaxx part with the half case, the screw holes are too shallow, so you need shorter screws to prevent them from bottoming out ( when the two halfs of the case go together it doesnt require really long screws to hold them together, just a few threads is fine for a positive connection, hence the shallow holes).

Seems like a half case option to be used with the gorillamaxx parts was an afterthought, made without making any alterations to the design ( I would have allowed more room for bearing play to be adjusted with shims, and deepers holes to screw the gorillamaxx cover in place; hindsight is 20/20 however....).

I can believe the screw issue, but i have heard the fit is just as bad with both halves. And the gmaxx half does work with the stock half.

And yeah I use shorter screws but the motor mount screws holes are short as well which bothers me. Oh well I don't have a tap set. FLM has brilliant moments in every area and some a bit less than brillant in some areas aswell.
